What they are

Photopea

Photopea is a free, browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD, XD, Sketch, PDF, and standard raster formats without any installation. Designers, content creators, and hobbyists use it to retouch photos, build thumbnails, and work with layered files on any device. It mirrors Photoshop's interface closely enough that existing PSD workflows transfer without friction, though ads on the free tier can interrupt focus.

Restream

Restream sends a single live broadcast simultaneously to more than 30 platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view. The free tier caps you at two destinations with Restream branding on the stream.
